No dust cover loop on either, one with a long forward action screw/swivel and one with a short, both swivels are of a different shape on the body.

Rifle one: Serial number X32136 the scope case strap is marked L/Cpl Pxxxxxx 1 Para B Coy marked with a 2 on the stock, on the scope case and on transit chest

Rifle two: Serial number V34685 has a tag in the scope case marked
"36 District Workshop REME"
"Passed Range Test"

Again, thanks for your time and info on these rifles.
